what condition is it in, has it got wireless and how much are you looking for it? I have got a brand new nintendo ds lite + 2/3 games if you want to consider a swap.

hmm, il find out and let you know mate, do you know how much batteries for it cost though?

This is not a gaming machine but the 2 games that I do play on it (Football Manager 2007 and Age of Empires 3) run perfectly. If you've played either game you'd know neither game has much graphic conditions.

This laptop is about two years old but i've taken good care of it.
The only problem with this laptop is that if it gets very hot the screen goes off sometimes. This would not be an issue if your planning on connecting the laptop to a monitor or tv or if you don't run too many programs at the same time.

The laptop is perfect for internet browsing and word processing. It has a decent battery life (2 hours on average) and doesn't weight much.

Its in great condition, other than the battery being knackered as said there is nothing wrong with it, in fact i haven't used it much at all but i've got a macbook now, it doesn't have built in wireless but i do have a BT wireless PCMICA card for it which will come with it, i have the box not sure about the original factory restore disks but its running winborg atm which i can reformat and re-install that also have a Laptop rucksack which will come with it as i don't need it coz i have another one for my macbook

EDIT i just looked on the underside and theres some marks on the bottom but nothing major

If you were talking to me...
I want £150 + postage as the screen does mess up sometimes (so its not perfect condition).
For the external DVD burner I would want another £40 if you want it.
For an additional 1GB RAM I would want another £35 if you want it.
